This song is full of grace and power. She stood up in the face of indifferent fate, to ask for everything she yearned for, and he brushed her off. Yeah, it's sad, and she (the character) is sad. But the heart wants what it wants, and that's all there is. And people who have the grace and courage to admit that they want something that seems denied, are the ones who ultimately get what they want.
(Might not be him, but how many people can withstand that kind of onslaught? With her attitude, she'd have me married for like, twenty years before I wondered if it was MY hearts desire or only HERS. ;-) )
@jotokai Here we are 7 more years later. I first heard this song at about the same time as Dolly Partonʻs "I Will Always Love You". This one has always seemed to have more truth to it since most people do move on at some point, even if thereʻs a trace of the old yearning. But, when the heart hangs in there it can, indeed, take a long, long time.
